Re: tdood
I just got a chest-strap heart-rate monitor and I'm figuring out how to use it. Strava's the app I happened to download. How do you like it?

Re: tdood
@SeanHerbison I like that it tracks my elevation, and gives a decent breakdown of speed. It also stops the clock if you stop, so you don’t wreck your avg speed by taking a piss. It gives a little map of your route, and it’s cool that you can follow other people.. good for motivation. It’s easy to use and free.

Re: tdood
I’ve always used runningahead for the sweet layout and graphs. I’m considering switching to Strava, but don’t want to lose 3ish years of data. I’m also on the treadmill these says, so i would have to enter things manually anyway.
Oh well I downloaded it and someone named josh followed you
ETA: for those looking to switch to Strava, it automatically logged in whatever runs I did using my iPhone via Health. Cool. It doesn’t have as much fiddly data manipulation stuff that runningahead does. Runningahead doesn’t have the robust community that Strava has.
I do like the elevation tracker though.

Re: tdood
@augeleven followed back.
7/22/19
120 pushups
100 sit-ups
Wide grip pull-ups: 12 BW, 30 band assisted
Squats: 345x2x6 @5.5 - was supposed to be 85%
Squats were cool. Last time I squatted more than 280lbs was Mid March and it was a single with today’s weight. I’ve been exclusively trying to use @Hanley’s low fatigue/higher volume principles while dieting and increasing work capacity and running. I came out of caloric deficit about 2.5 weeks ago and I’m planning on seeing if I can build a little bit of strength and new muscle. Using that scheme while dieting absolutely allowed me to hold onto (and maybe build) more muscle than any other program I’ve tried under similar circumstances, and absolutely has facilitated my current work capacity/cardio levels which, while unimpressive, are the best they’ve been in my lifting career. I mean, 1min rest times.. that would have killed me.
Friday’s bench was also surprising. 8 sets of 5 is a historic volume high for me, but 2 days later and my pushups were also at a rpe PR. Going forward I’ll be trying a heavy day on bench every 2 weeks and every 3 for squats and dead’s. I don’t think I’ll be using singles yet, but 6 doubles with 85% should be good.
